Finland - Winter War

Day 23

The main Soviet attacks go in against the Mannerheim Line around Summa. The same pattern is repeated for the next few days. The advancing tanks penetrate into the Finnish positions during each day. The infantry are held off and the tanks mostly destroyed during the nights by the Finnish troops who then emerge from their defenses. On the Ladoga Karelia the Finns retake the village of Ägläjärvi. 2 battalions pursue the retreating Russians heading towards the Aittojoki River. The Russians have lost over 2,000 men in the fighting in this area.
